To foster sound financial system and to facilitate to the economic growth of Ethiopia. 2. The current monetary policy is incapable of keeping stable the price level and the exchange rate. 3.

Although there is a general agreement on the neutrality of monetary policy in the long run, there is a disagreement on its impact in the short run. Accordingly while the neo classical economists believe that systematic monetary policy will not have an impact on the real variables, to the contrary the neo Keynesians economists believe that systematic policy will have an impact to the real variables. When we see empirical results it is not clear cut. But the one thing they both agree is that monetary policy can be used to keep price stable (not to be a problem by itself). However the disagreement of economists will not end here, beside to the above disagreements economists do not agree which specific monetary policy we have to use even to make the monetary policy of being a problem by itself.
Taking the above arguments in to account this paper will try to assess the current monetary policy in Ethiopia and evaluate its performance towards achieving stability of price and exchange rate. At last but not a least this paper will try to see if there is a need for another monetary policy to achieve the above objectives. |
